Looks like Sora's back after all. Guess this place couldn't get enough of him. Maybe this time he'll actually stick around for a while. We never did sail that far.

Speaking of which, if any of you guys have been around the river I hope you haven't touched the raft. It'd be a pain if we had to fix it up too much, even if we probably will anyway.

[Well he saw that Riku, so since you mentioned a raft, he's out looking for it. Just like old times, huh?]

[stilldontgotit]

[He sees you thar. And he'll approach.]

Sora, what are you doing?

[valorandwisdom]

[o hai thar Riku, still hangin' around? He's walkin' along the riverbank searchin' for da raft]

Looking for the raft of course, I wanted to see it.

[stilldontgotit]

Somehow I'm not surprised.

[motioning for Sora to follow now]

C'mon. I'll show you.

[valorandwisdom]

[Good 'cause he shouldn't be. And follows along behind his friend]

So what's it like? What'd we name it? [Taking for granted he had a hand in this on that "before" trip]

[stilldontgotit]

Not that different from the raft back home. As for the name, well...

The Black Pearl.

[valorandwisdom]

[And watch as he just griiiiiins. Yeah, he knows he had to have suggested that.] Awesome! Jack'd be proud.

[stilldontgotit]

You'd know better than me. I mean, it was your idea.

[valorandwisdom]

The Black Pearl is the most awesome pirate ship in the history of everything. It had a ghost crew! And then Jack took it back and got to be Captain again. [He was raised on an island, pirate stories are a must.]

[stilldontgotit]

Never met this Jack, but I remember hearing something about, oh... Aztec Gold. Cursed Aztec gold.

[valorandwisdom]

Yup! I didn't get the curse, but Jack did. I can't decide if you'd like him a lot or really hate him. [Really, he could see it going either way, the pirate was erratic to say the least.

And hey what's that up there? He starts jogging towards the logs he can see up ahead.]

[stilldontgotit]

Good, because the idea of you as an undead pirate really doesn't fit.

[Ope, hey! Speeds up, darn it]

[valorandwisdom]

I wouldn't've been a pirate, Riku! [And then...] Cool!

[He's flown a gummi ship, but he still loves the water, so the raft is still pretty darn neat to him and he's checking it out.] Looks a lot like our old one, good going Riku.

[stilldontgotit]

[Smirks, coming to a stop when he's close enough]

I tried, but it was actually Kairi's idea.

[valorandwisdom]

[Circling it, walking over it, poking at it, all the good stuff.] Kairi's always got great ideas. But we all built it, right? So we can take that trip like we always talked about.

[stilldontgotit]

Hey, we did most of the work. You were busy slacking off like last time.

[is that a grin? It might just be.]

But we might as well use it, right? The village gets old pretty fast.
